If I try to install any package I see a list of some 80 packages which

Obviously I'm not goint to remove all these; particulaly losing apt
would be a disaster. Anyone else seeing this behaviour?

I think these are 'meta-packages' and can be safely removed.

"Note that in DebianWheezy and beyond tasksel provides and uses dummy
packages (known as meta packages) to pull required dependencies."
but as there are 80 packages (seems heck a lot), be careful to verify
first. So leave them alone till you're sure.
